Following on from a wonderful performance of Purcell's Dido & Aeneas in 2015 BCG returns to the world of opera, or, strictly speaking masque/semi-opera with a concert performance of Purcell's The Fairy Queen.

We will be singing the choruses from Haydn's wonderful oratorio The Creation, in English.The workshop will take place at St. Luke’s Church, Hatfield Road, Wellsway, Bath, BA2 2BD on Saturday 4th November 2017.

The workshop and performances will be directed by BCG MD Neil Moore and accompanied on St. Luke’s wonderful grand piano by our regular BCG accompanist Will Ashworth.

The workshop begins at 10.00am with registration from 9.30am. There will be an informal performance at 3.30pm— it’s open to all, and the day will end at 4.00pm.
